Gremlins

This film is probably the one people have been shocked most that I've not seen so I thought I'd get on with watching it quickly.

Things I liked

Gizmo! How friggin' cute is the little guy?! He's so well behaved and lovely and I defy anyone to go a bit gooey when he sings. If I'd have watched this as kid I definitely would have wanted one.

The little love story going on between Billy and Kate! Cute!

Things I didn't like

The Gremlins! They're so evil and mean and they picked on Gizmo.

The dad! Seriously dude, give up the inventor thing, it ain't working.

Verdict

I loved Gremlins. I now understand why so many people have been so upset that I hadn't seen it. I got totally sucked in and even shouted at Billy for being so stupid and not following the rules. I had to laugh at all the silly outfits the Gremlins wore and when they were smoking and drinking but I wasn't sad when they got fried. Also, Gizmo driving a toy car was a highlight - super cute! 4/5
